| Summary: | This book wastes no time in getting to the point in its very first sentence. In the wake of the considerable attention which has been given in recent years to literary aspects of the Bible in the broad field of the study of literature and theology, Alison Searle gives her attention to the Bible as itself the source of the imagination. This runs deliberately counter to two common aspects of similar studies; that is, taking the roots of the understanding of the imagination from English and German Romanticism, and approaching the Bible through the lens of literary, and particularly deconstructionist, theory. |
